What does the Bible say about love in marriage?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church, emphasizing self-sacrifice and care.

In Ephesians 5:25, the Apostle Paul instructs husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. This type of love is sacrificial, nurturing, and committed. It goes beyond mere feelings and requires husbands to actively seek the well-being and happiness of their wives, mirroring the deep, unconditional love that Christ has for His Church. Additionally, 1 Corinthians 13 elaborates on what love is, describing it as patient, kind, and free from envy or pride. Hence, love in marriage is rooted in a commitment to serve and uplift one another.
